Hi Guys,
after playing for about a week with the touch diamond keyboard on my mogul I've come to the conclusion of being the best SIP touch keyboard i've ever used BUT (here is the good part)
*"DO NOT INSTALL IT ON YOUR MOGUL UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR CONTACT PREDICTION TO GO AWAY WHILE WRITING A MESSAGE OR EMAIL, SUPER SLOW INPUT WHILE WRITING AND ALSO IT TOOK 9 MINUTES TO UNINSTALL."*
with that being said it is up to you if you want to give it a try.

Other issues are that some are not able to uninstall unless they hard reset, issues arise with your physical keyboard.
These are not issues that arised on the 6800, but rather most devices out in the market. It has been stated in the thread with the leaked attached software that the software is very buggy and doesn't have proper testing.
Install at your own risk. I personally rather use the HTC Touch Keyboard and Keypad which is almost identical except for the skin.

Does this break the autocomplete feature for the slide out keyboard on sms/mms contacts too or just for the SIP keyboard?
Carlos, do you have a cab to upload for that HTC Touch keyboard? Cannot find by searching XDA.

Sweet, perfect. My cab directory on the server is stocked! \
edit: this cab breaks autocomplete too, huh?
any workaround? That is a rather good feature.

auto complete only seems to work when you use xt9.
but other then that idk if there would be a way to be enable it.
I installed it and used it for a while... i must say its a great keyboard for a touchscreen... but then i realized the main reason why i got the mogul vs the touch, THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD!
This completely screwed up the autocomplete in emails and sms, text predictions and SIP options, even when using the hardware keyboard.
Uninstalling was a nightmare... so I did a hard reset and went on with my happy mogul...
I still think its a great software keyboard, but for a devise that its designed to... not the mogul
The Diamond keyboard seems to work on my Telus P4000 running DCD3.0.4 with the only bug being that when you press a key the icon for the selected key is really big but this goes away as soon as you life your finger so it isn't a big deal. Autocomplete seems to work for me but I never used it much so I may not be testing what others say is not working. If I create a new SMS and start typing in someone's name using any of the Diamond keyboards (since there are 3) or the hardware keyboard the name comes up before I finish typing so I don't think there's any issue with that.
The Touch keyboard is almost the same you say? I may have to try that one...
touch keyboard
Aledc78:
Just for clarification, the keyboard you had so much trouble with prediction and uninstalling was the Touch, or was it the Diamond? I'd really like to give the touch one a shot. My large fingers are WAY too big to even consider using the default WM6 keyboard, its a joke. I can't give up prediction though, and as a general rule I steer clear of anything that is a "nightmare" to uninstall.

I managed to uninstall Diamond keyboard. I used SK Tools to uninstall and voila...it got uninstalled
Stay away
Yeah, this keyboard is really a pile of crap. It broke all my auto complete, and it also broke the ability to page down by pressing the space bar in a browser. And mine wouldn't install at all, it sat there for over 30 minutes doing nothing, I had to hard reset to get rid of it.
Seriously, if you want a device without a keyboard, just buy a touch. A physicial keyboard is better than any soft ketboard anyway
I found the latest version of the CooTek TouchPal keyboard with the Diamond theme works a lot better on the Mogul than the Diamond Keyboard. It's not free though.
CoolTek
Still, compared to the Diamond ported keyboard, CoolTek sucks.
I'm surprised that the problem with inputting contacts and having them autocomplete via the Hardware Keyboard is still broken. The hardware keyboard is generally preferred, but the Diamond port is amazing in small spaces / one handed typing.
anyone know of a fix?
Hi everyone, I've been playing around with the Xperia for a while now and was previously using the Touch Pro. Just wondering, is there any autocorrect feature to correct slight typing mistakes like what's done on the Touch Pro? That's something I really miss espcially since I find myself making more mistakes with the Xperia's keyboard.
there is autocorrect feature in x1i. i did try it in sms, msn & note, etc. of course it only deals with some minor mistakes like "thsi" or something like this.
Hi
Yep, there is under settings.-->personal-->input You'll have to tell it to suggest after xx or a space (mine was set to suggest after a space).
Also, this all gets messed up if you install the touch HD keyboard (elsewhere on this forum). The touch HD KB appears to have its own built in auto-correct/complete, installing it disables the autocomplete for the hardware keyboard. Uninstalling it fixes this (uninstall takes 5 mins plus).
Nigel
Thanks Cool2046, you're right about the keyboard autocorrect, it only corrects really minor mistakes and isnt as robust as the Touch Pro.
And thanks to Veltron for the warning about the Touch HD keyboard cab. Guess that's something I better avoid, sure didn't enjoy the long installation process that came with the TouchFlo3D port.
The auto correct is really not very good at least with teh engilsh I use wehn tpynig wtih a tniy keboard...
Hi all,
I'm new to the flashing rom thing but I flashed the latest energy rom for TP2 onto my tilt2. I just realized that the keyboard functions are considerably different since I flashed the new rom. I guess my device recognizes the keyboard as a Touch Pro 2 and not the Tilt 2 (AT&T) because the keys are mapped differently on the two devices. The TP2 has a row of numbers on top, while the Tilt 2 has the numbers accessible via the function key, and has symbols in place of the number row on the touch pro 2.
Is there a fix or a rom specifically for the tilt 2?
Yes, there is a fix, go back to the page where you downloaded the rom, and right under where you click to download the rom is another link labeled something like "addons and hotfixes". Click that, go to the hotfixes, and get the ATTKeybdfix.cab and once installed you'll be back to normal. Check out the addons too, you might find something you like
Will look for it, thanks
Update: Thanks it worked!
Hi
I Have a ROM with the keyboard function of the TP2 installed in mi Tilt 2.
"ATTKeybdfix.cab" can convert mi TP2 Key functions in Tilt2 Functions??
I can´t find "ATTKeybdfix.cab". Can you put the link here, please?
...sorry for my bad english
Here you go, your ATT Keyboard fix
Hope it helps.
I got my X10 2 days ago. Previously i was using iPhone. Everybody know iPhone user interface is simply awesome. I like X10 as well. the issue currently i am facing is that when i type my messages some times i missed the letter and i have to press the letter again. specially letter 'a'. I am using android keyboard. Is this issue is because of keyboard or it's software issue. i know touch is perfect because i can see zoom in image of the letter. I also tried to disable sound, vibrate, dictionary etc. but no luck so far.
though in landscape it works fine.
Can anybody guide me how can i solve this issue?
Thanks,
I had the same problem with both the Android and standard keyboards.
The only way I fixed it was to install the HTC Keyboard. Works fantastic and it has a calibration tool so you can make it even more accurate than it already is.
Search for HTC X10 keyboard on google, I think there is a tutorial on esato or se-nse.
I'm afraid that this has become old news when it comes to the x10.
At the moment I can only suggest a workaround or two.
I have installed the HTC keyboard which I find very accurate. It can also be customized to allow the volume controls to control the cursor whilst typing.
Personally I find this to be the best solution.
Better keyboard is a paid app that can be downloaded from the market and offers another good solution.
I have heard in posts that swipe keyboard is another good alternative.
Finally I have heard that upgrading to the latest firmware available may help things. I debranded and upgraded to 1.6 but I still used the HTC as its familiar.
Another option is the Smart Keyboard Pro
yo try the app called shape writer. Its simply amazing, u will love it
HTC keyboard.. easy & free
Smart Keyborad PRO & Swype are also good options
actually the true problem to this is the sluggishness of the touchscreen which you'll experience in most other applications as well. the only solution is to type slower since no matter which keyboard you try you will always experience some random unset delay after each key before it actually registers on the screen. that by itself will hinder your ability to type fast and will introduce additional typos.
If you use SlideIT keyboard then you won't have any problems with sluggishness. ( which I've not experienced anyway). Its not as attractive add swype, but I find it much more accurate.

Sent from my X10i,
using SlideIT keyboard.
You can have landscape size buttons in portrait with 'Big Buttons' keyboard from the market, it takes a chunk of screen but your typing will be perfect
Thanks a lot, i just trid "big buttons", love it, the best one for people like me who are not very handy with their fingers

make sure you correctly enable the htc_ime mod keyboard from the list of keyboards in the input method options.
to bring up the input method option, when your vr keyboard is visible, long press any area where you input text and select htc ime mod.
If the htc keyboard is not available from that list, go to settings, locale and text and tick htc keyboard.

It does not matter if you type slow. it's some other issue i can't figure out the reason maybe SE know it well. you can saw a issue which can't be replicated
I guess the problems of typing are related also to the protective screen

i don't think so. because other keyboards are working fine. the problem is with the firmware
I'm using shapewriter keyboard (free on the android market) ... perfect alternative to the swype keyboard & similar as well for those who arent able to get their hands on swype due to its limited beta release
Try ThickButton - it's pretty awesome - predicts what you want to type, and expands the size of appropriate keys, making the others smaller... You can also select how much they'll expand by (esp if you have really fat fingers, or type with your toes.)
Okay, now this happens regardless of the OS on the phone - Android, Windows Mobile, or Windows Phone.
Basically, when I start trying to type quickly on the HD2, it can't keep up and starts missing out letters etc. but when typing with the same speed on another phone (e.g. an iPhone or a Galaxy SII) they have no trouble keeping up.
Now, is this a fault with my phone or is it that the touch screen just uses older technology and isn't as responsive?
try to use a "multi touch" keyboard for whatever platform you are using and see if that helps.
i think NO such keyboard exists for WM6.5.
i KNOW several such keyboards exist for Android...the HTC Sense keyboard included in most Sense-based Android roms for the HD2 is NOT multi touch, look for "gingerbread keyboard" on the market place. it also works on froyo roms!
for non-Sense-based Android roms for the HD2, most of them come with the stock gingerbread keyboard out of the box, which IS multi touch. if you are using froyo, see previous paragraph!
i think WP7 keyboard is already multi touch.
finally, the HD2 screen hardware can only handle up to TWO touches, which should be ok for typing fast, provided the keyboard is multi touch.
and, if you are already using a multi touch keyboard but desire a bit more responsiveness, consider disabling prediction, auto correction, typewriter sound, and vibration. some keyboards also support "calibration", so you can run that to see if it can learn your finger tap patterns to tune the keyboard's response.
Thanks for the information.
I've already tried the HTC Sense keyboard (currently running Sense 3.5), Gingerbread keyboard, and ICS keyboard, but none of them seem any better than each other.
I have tried calibrating the Sense keyboard, but you say that it doesn't support multi-touch anyway so it doesn't seem like it will be of much use. I don't use vibration feedback or the typewriter sound ever, but I'd find it hard not to use prediction or auto-correction.
From instinct I'd say that this seems far more likely to be a hardware problem than a software problem, so I think it is probably just that the HD2's screen is only 2-point multi-touch, whereas other phones I've tried like the Galaxy SII are 4+. So there's probably not really anything I can do to change this.
Thanks anyway though

hi, i had the same problem before. using swiftkey X will help alot.
otherwise, try to unbox heptic feedback(vibration) on your keyboard...since its (in fact) the vibrations that cant keep up with us fast typers
btw, my girlfriend loves my fast fingers

I actually bought Swiftkey X when it was on sale a while back - I wasn't amazingly impressed but I'll try it again now. Thanks for reminding me.
And yeah, I don't like using vibration on the keyboard anyway so I keep that turned off. Probably saves battery too.
